God Made the Countrj Man the Town
One of the most sensible things
said by Mr. Hunt at the dast meeting
of the Commercial Club was to the
effect that the kind of town we have
depends on ourselves. There Is more
truth than humor in the old saying,
"God. made the - country ' but man
-' - -; ' 11 ' " l' i.r
made the town" Man cannoi auer u
any great extent the country as he
finds it He cannot change the an
nual rainfall, though he can Bave a
little of It from running to waste.
He cannnot tall up a summer zephyr
In February Just because he wants to
do his seeding. 'He cannot change
the poBltkm of tho great mountain
ranges or substitute a volcanic ash
for a gluclal soil, except on a very
Bitifill esirden snot. God made the
country but man does make the town
The town is a set of artlfn lal con
dltiona which man has gathered
about him for pleasure and profit
and a man's ideas about pleasure or
profit determine what his ideas of a
town shall be. If the town Is slow
and sleepy, that is a sign that the
neonle are Blow and Bleepy. ' If the
streets tre dirty ind ir pnve I un '
put togethei without any plan either
of convenience or beauty, It is be
lnness are not economical and have
nlness, are not eceonomlcal and have
little appreciation of the beautiful. If
they still persist in drinking well
water and have no sewer connec
tions; If stable are unscreened and
breed files In ' the summertime: if
they have typhoid fever in the fall
' and scarlet fever in the winter It Is
because the people are too lazy or
too Ignorant or too greedy to have
and care or appreciation of tho value
. of human life. Hut If you find the
alleys as clean as the main street,
the sewerage and water systems be-
yend criticism; the streets laid out
on a plan both of economy and beau
ty; transportation so arranged as to
distribute the population evenly and
without crowding; the poor well
boused and the vicious find crime un
profitable; then you have a sure sign
that the people are energetic and In
telligent and moral and have a due
appreciation of what mnkes life well
worth living. Yes, God made the
.country and man makes tho town,
and he makes it just like himself.
